[QUOTE="Cap'n Kobold, post: 7963405, member: 6802951"] I'd suggest increasing the damage again if Extra Attacks gives you more than one attack per attack action. I only tent to plan things up to level 10ish. I decided to have it as an action and increase damage rather than as an attack, because I wanted to consolidate all the damage of a full attack sequence into one maneuver. Rather than force the BM to have to spend extra SD to make all their attacks from that range. An alternate writing could simply involve spending the SD and then all your attacks for that turn count as having the increased reach. However, this doesn't preserve the image of the single decisive attack, and I wasn't sure what to do with the result of the SD roll. The idea was less as a tool for getting through 3.5e-style DR and more the ability to attack from a range that you don't need to disengage from and avoiding any aura or backlash effects. This is pretty situational. I think given the surprise that the lunge is supposed to be, and the fact that you're putting all your eggs in one basket, making the attack roll with Advantage is fine.
